Please set up the transfer bit rate setting for the compression software when compressing MP3/WMA files as follow. MP3 Files : 128 kbps recommended (8 - 320 kbps)

WMA Files : 128 kbps recommended (32 - 320 kbps)

• This unit is compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz (recommended) and 48 kHz sampling frequencies. • This unit is compatible with ID3-TAG Ver. 1. (Alphanumeric sign : up to 30 characters)

• DIGITAL output of MP3/WMA data is done not as MP3/WMA data, but as PCM data.

Naming folders and files

Single-byte characters between A and Z, single-byte numerals between 0 and 9, and the single-byte underscore(_) can be displayed. Ensure that the extension log is attached to all file names.

• Never add the wrong extension log to any files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.

Note:

Folder names and file names are displayed up to 20 characters. When folder names and file names are recorded with more than 20 characters, the names will be displayed in abbreviated form.

Confirming media and files

Check to ascertain that MP3/WMA files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

• It is not possible to confirm that files can be played back correctly while they are being saved onto the media.

When saving files onto media

Ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media. There are cases where media on which the session has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equip-ment.

• There are cases where the folder names and file names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to save them.

• Do not store files or folders other than playable files on media to be played back with this equipment. • It is recommended that ten or less sessions are stored when recording MP3/WMA files onto a media. • In case of a multisession disc, some time may be required until playback begins.

• There are cases where playback is not possible when DivX/MP3/WMA/JPEG files (CD-ROM) and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the same media.

Care and Storage

Care and storage of main unit

7 Do not place in the following locations.

÷ Place exposed to direct sunlight.

÷ Place subjected to excessive humidity or dirt. ÷ Place exposed to direct heat from heating

equip-ment.

7 Be careful against condensation

When the difference in temperatures between the main unit and the environmental air is large, dew may be condensed inside the main unit and may cause malfunction of the main unit. If this happens, leave the main unit for a few hours un-til its internal mechanisms are dried up.

Take special care against condensation when the main unit is moved between places with a large temperature differ-ence or into a room with high humidity.

7 When a main unit becomes dirty

When the front panel or case gets dirty, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not use lacquer thinner, benzine, alcohol or con-tact revitalizer for these chemicals will cause discoloration or deformation.

Handling precautions

Hold a disc taking care not to touch the played surface.

Handling of disc

Before transporting or moving the system, prepare it as de-scribed below.

1 Switch the system ON without placing a disc in it.

2 Ensure that is displayed.

3 Wait a few seconds, and then switch the system OFF.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

If the CD-R or CD-RW disc in use has a printable label sur-face, the disc may be unable to be taken out of the system due to sticking of the label surface. To prevent malfunction of the system, do not use such a disc.

Cautions on discs

The disc rotates at a high speed during playback. Never use a cracked, chipped or greatly warped disc. Otherwise, dam-age or malfunction of the player may result.

Also, do not use a disc with a non-circular shape as this may result in malfunction.

Caution for Transport or Movement

Care and storage of disc

7 Before storing the disc

When the main unit is not to be used for a long period, take out the disc and store in the case.

7 When a disc becomes dirty

÷ When a disc is contaminated with fingerprints or other stains, wipe gently in the radial direction us-ing a soft dry cloth.

÷ Do not use an analog disk cleaner, lacquer thinner, benzine or alcohol.

÷ Do not use a disc accessory (stabilizer, protective sheet, protective ring, etc.) or lens cleaner.

7 Other cautions

÷ Do not write letters on a disc using a pencil or ball-point pen.

÷ D o n o t u s e a d i s c i f t h e s t i c k e r o r l a b e l o n i t i s peeled off or bond is overflowed around the sticker or label.

About HDMI

HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio, HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Notes:

• Both PCM and Bitstream Audio out is available when the sample frequency is set to 48 kHz in HDMI connection.

• If Audio setup is set to bitstream and your TV does not support Bitstream Audio out in HDMI connection, audio sound may not be output-ted or distoroutput-ted.

• When the no sound or noisy sound are outputted with HDMI connection, set the Audio option [Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG] in SETUP menu to PCM or Off.

• If there is noise or lines on the screen, please check the HDMI cable. • Not all HDCP-compatible DVI devices will work with this unit.

• If your HDMI TV does not support HDCP, the blue screen appears on the screen.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program's soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

This function operates only at the time of playback of DVDs re-corded with Dolby Digital.

Vocal

Set to on only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into normal stereo sound.

LOCK (Parental Control)

If you select unlock, parental control is not active and the disc plays in full.

Note:

If you set a rating for the player, all disc scenes with the same rating or lower are played. Higher rated scenes are not played unless an alternate scene is available on the disc.
